I grew some reapers a while ago. The difference in heat between them and a standard habanero is comical.
My buddy brought a pizza to work. A local pizzeria makes what they call a Russian Roulette. It’s a regular large pizza with jalapeños… Except that one slice has Carolina reaper blended into the sauce under the cheese. He told us all the gimmick, we all laughed and circled round to take a bite at the same time.
That sly motherfucker had asked them to make the entire pizza with the reaper sauce. The heat was immediate and overwhelming, and all of us simultaneously went “oh god oh fuck I got the reaper slice.” And as we all rushed to the lone water fountain, we realized what he had done.
It was a great prank. We all ended up fighting over that water fountain for like 20 minutes, like we were trapped underwater holding our breath, and it was the only air hose.
Back before anybody knew about them I had a neighbor that grew peppers and offered to let me try one. I love peppers and didn't think anything of it. Spent the next half hour chugging milk.
